[comp.sys.apollo] ADUS Latex ... HELP !!!

sharp@.ucalgary.ca (Maurice Sharp) (03/17/89)

Hiya,

     I just finished a minor fit caused by trying to install
the ADUS release of LaTex on a DN4500.  It is using SR10.1 which
causes some problems.  Here is what I did, please let me know how
to do it right.

     In /tex/lucid/build-programs1 :
	changed all occurances of -M3000 to
				-A nansi -A cpu,3000

     Created links in /tex/web2c/cmdir to the
	appropriate .mf fonts (plain, U_Wash, cbase).

     Gave up when /tex/lucid/build-programs2 died a major death.

     How do I get the stuff to compile properly ?  Has anyone actually
got things to work ?  Does anyone have a list of changes ?  Actual makefiles
or replacement files ? 

	Please respond soon

First, I believe the SR9.7 executables and fonts shipped on the ADUS tape
should continue to work, though suboptimally, on SR10.1.

Second, all I had to do to build a TeX on SR10.1 was to change occurrences
of "-M3000" to "-A cpu,3000" in build-programs1 and build-programs2.  Perhaps
using "-A nansi" is causing you problems.

Finally, I am just putting the finishing touches on an updated TeX system
built for SR10.1 on both 68020/68030 and PRISM machines.  This version
features include:

    o Compound executables built for both 68020/68030 and PRISM.
    o No longer needs "/sys/ins" files to build.
    o (i.e. Builds on a node without AEGIS installed.)
    o New versions of DVIAPOLLO and PXL2APOLLO that work with
      SR10.1 fonts.
    o 32-bit large capacity TeX's are the default.
    o Built from the latest versions of TeX, MF, LaTeX, etc.

TeX runs very fast on the DN10000; the DN10000 also rebuilt all 906 fonts
with MetaFont in just 6.5 hours!
